Amitive: ROI in Less Than 6 Months
3 Point Strategy for Success without the Expense and Headaches
At Amitive, we've had it with supply chain management software that is too complex, too rigid, too expensive, and stone-age in architecture and usability. We left positions with SAP, Oracle, i2, and the like to build and deliver state of the art community supply chain management to midsize companies. Importantly, we're making it simpler, faster, and more affordable for supply chain owners to manage their multi-enterprise business network process better and smarter. This approach is how we deliver return on investment to customers in less than 6 months.
Three Keys to Delivering ROI in Less than 6 Months
Software as a Service (SaaS) Subscription + Delivery
Amitive Unity is delivered on-demand and provides anytime, anywhere access via a web browser. This Software as a Service (SaaS) subscription and delivery provides lower, more predictable cost of ownership.

Software Your Way: Best Practices as You Define Them
Amitive is configurable to the exact needs of your business and industry. It supports rather than dictates how you do business. Traditional supply chain vendors impose their "best practices" on you – best for them, but not necessarily for your company! - On top of that, their cookie cutter industry templates fail to provide a competitive advantage. They are "vanilla" for you but mean profitable software implementations for the vendor.
Unlike traditional supply chain vendors, Amitive takes a business first approach with software that meets your exact requirements. This enables best practices as you define them and avoids costly reengineering projects typically prescribed by other vendors.
Amitive further improves productivity with role-based dashboards, personalized set-up, and Web 2.0 ease-of-use throughout the system. Integration and trading partner participation are simplified employing industry standards and vendor adaptors. Refreshingly, product and services are designed for rapid time to value.
Don't Rip and Replace – Complement Your Existing Software
Why perform a heart transplant when a pacemaker or angioplasty will provide better, more reliable results without the costly procedure and a long, painful recovery? Amitive complements your existing SCM and ERP systems, so you don't have to rip and replace your core systems. Amitive makes it simpler to on-board customers and suppliers facilitating participation. Maybe best of all, Amitive is manageable by mere mortals. It's designed for simpler implementation, ownership, and operations.
